After six months of interruptions to do paid work, I've finally finished my site! Still a few tweaks to do here and there, so I haven't "officially" launched it, but at least it's up there now…

www.chillifish.com if you're at all interested.

Took me a while to run each page through the validator and fix the odd bits I missed, but as it's all hand coded, I think it's easier to get right as you just have to remember to close tags when you open them.

In Internet Explorer, the image load on a blank page (where you have the lightbox like effect in Firefox, in IE I just get a blank white page with the image on, I then have to click the browser's Back button to return to the page). This happens on Firefox with NoScript (no surprise) and IE9 32-bit and 64-bit.

Cheers, yeah I figured that would be an issue for people with JavaScript disabled, but since so few people do it and those that do are by nature tech savvy, I decided to leave it!

The IE problem is with javascript enabled. I'm guessing a JS domain reference the IE doesn't understand.

Aah right. I've just noticed on the clients page, I forgot to put the javascript in anyway! I'll do that and look into it. I've tested it on IE 6, 7 and 8, but don't have 9 or 64 bit! Thanks for your help Dave.

Looking at the HTML code for the images, there is a body tag with just the image in it, nothing else...

I don't have time to look at it at the moment, but it looks like the onclick javascript for the lightbox isn't compatible with IE9 - or if you are loading exception code for specific IE versions, it isn't being loaded for IE9... I'll try and look this evening.

Thanks Dave, is ie9 still beta? I'll check it out, but what you're suggesting sounds most plausible.

A brief google suggests it's an issue with IE9 and JavaScript. Clicky.
